This sounds great . I will let you know how it turns out.
Thanks,

The fussy hubby is still talking about it 3days later. I put bacon pieces in his half so he wouldn't whinge and he loved it. (So did I) Thanks.


Bacon indeed!! LOL. Glad you liked it. :)


Found this recipe online and just made it for my boyfriend and his workmates (one is a vegetarian). They loved it! I couldn't find mixed beans so I used kidney beans which were just as good. Thanks for the recipe.


This is cooling in my oven RIGHT NOW. I used fresh-chopped tomatoes instead of canned, soymilk in the mashed potatoes and I didn't use any tomato puree. It smells delicious. I'll let you know how it turns out!


I just tried to make this. I had to make some substitutions and I didn't have enough potatoes. But it's cooking at the moment, and I'll let you know how it turns out.

ETA: I made so many substitutions that it barely resembled your recipe. However, it was still delicious. Thanks for the starting recipe ;)


Made for St Pats and it was better than I expected.

Substituted Cheddar for the cheese.
For spices, added oregano and cumin.
Only used 1 fresh tomato, no canned or puree.
Used 1 can of black beans.


I just made this recipe, albeit with a few changes. I didn't have everything listed so I added curry powder, chili powder and some cumin to the saute. I then added some canned beans and put the whole thing into a pie pan, topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and covered with garlic roasted mashed potatoes. Smells wonderful and I'll let you know how my kids enjoyed it this evening.
